Qin Jiyan has always known that the Emperor is good to him, but the Emperor's kindness to him is a double-edged sword, even if it protects him, it also hurts him.
If it hadn't been for the Supreme Emperor's partial favor for him, the women in the harem and his uncle would not have regarded him as a thorn in their side and tried their best to kill him.
He has lived in the shadow of death since he was a child. Every night when he goes to bed, he worries that if he closes his eyes, he will never wake up again.
Very early on, Qin Jiyan couldn't understand why Grandpa Huang loved him so much, but allowed him to be assassinated and poisoned, and never dealt with the real murderer. Later... he found out the cause of his father's death, and he wanted him to understand.
.
Grandpa Huang felt guilty for his father and wanted to give him the best, but... subconsciously, Grandpa Huang also wanted him to die.
If he died, no one would appear in front of him every day to remind him of the murder of his son, and he would no longer have to feel guilty, but he couldn't die.
Qin Jiyan saw the Supreme Emperor looking at him in shock, as if he couldn't accept what he said, so he couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "Grandpa Huang, I know how good you are to me, but you are so good to me.
conditions and restrictions.
I will never forget that when I found out that Concubine Gu had poisoned me, I ran to you with an angry face and told you, please make the decision for me and severely punish Concubine Gu. What did you do..."
"I..." It has been so long that the Emperor cannot remember clearly, but Qin Jiyan cannot forget it, "I was eight years old at the time, and it was already the seventh time I was poisoned. I dragged my body from serious injuries to look for evidence everywhere.
.I finally collected the evidence and put it in front of you, but you didn’t believe it...
You don't believe the ironclad evidence, you don't believe the truth I found out. You summoned Concubine Gu for questioning. The fifth prince also came with you. The mother and son knelt down in front of you and cried a few words, saying that she didn't do it.
Saying that she was wrongly accused, you ignored the ironclad evidence and facts, let them go without checking, and in turn blamed me for being ignorant."
That year, he clearly understood that his grandfather was unreliable and that he could only rely on himself.
"Back then, what happened back then... you weren't dead, were you?" The Supreme Emperor remembered.
Some things are always forgotten as time goes by. But when someone mentions them, I realize that those things are not forgotten, but buried deep in the memory. Once someone mentions them, they will clearly appear in the mind.
For example, the Emperor thought he had forgotten about Qin Jiyan's repeated poisonings and assassinations, but when Qin Jiyan told him, he found that he remembered it very clearly and could not forget it at all.
"I'm not dead, but Grandpa Huang, have you forgotten that the poison Concubine Gu gave me that time? Although the imperial doctor detoxified the poison and saved my life, I was injured because of it. The imperial doctor said that I will have children in the future.
It will be very difficult." Even when he talked about the difficulty of having an heir, Qin Jiyan remained calm, but looked at the Emperor's eyes full of mockery, "I think it's not that Grandpa Huang has forgotten, but that he doesn't care. I remember that after you heard this diagnosis, you just said
Just a word..."
"I said..." The Supreme Emperor's lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.
Qin Jiyan laughed and continued: "Grandpa Huang, you say it doesn't matter. From now on... just let the fifth prince or one of my cousins adopt a child for me."
The Supreme Emperor told him that he would pass the throne to him, but at the same time he didn't care that he had no heirs. It was really ridiculous to think about it.
If he had no heirs, who would he give the throne to?
I have been busy for half my life, making wedding dresses for others.
"I, I..." The Supreme Emperor opened his mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Qin Jiyan did not comfort or ridicule. He only said: "Grandpa Huang, it's all over. I won't take it to heart. As you said, I'm not dead, right?"
Precisely because he is alive, the previous assassinations and poisonings can be ignored, just because he is not dead.
He is not dead, so he does not need to deal with those who want his life. Why is he not dead?
Qin Jiyan wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
After giving the Supreme Emperor a deep look, Qin Jiyan saluted with a calm expression, "Grandpa Emperor, please take good care of yourself. I will come to see you after I finish my work."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. However, when he reached the entrance of the palace, Qin Jiyan stopped, turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "Inform me of my decree, and your concubine Gu is here to accompany the Supreme Emperor."
He wanted to know, without power and glory, would Concubine Gu still be willing to accompany an old man who was older than her father?
Qin Jiyan was in the palace now, and his presence was unquestionable. No one dared to question his orders. Concubine Gu was soon taken to the palace of the Supreme Emperor and began to eat and sleep with the Supreme Emperor.
As for whether the two people get along harmoniously or have constant conflicts, that is not something Qin Jiyan needs to worry about.
After walking out of the palace where the Supreme Emperor lived, Qin Jiyan came to the imperial study. The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards was already waiting. When he saw Qin Jiyan coming in, he saluted and reported directly to them what they had found.
This time, the Supreme Emperor was able to contact the outside world while under house arrest, and the people from the Changsheng Sect were indispensable.
The Eternal Life Sect has some strange things on hand, including a kind of Gu insect used for communication. They only need to burn it, and the people of the Eternal Life Sect will know that the Emperor is looking for them.
The Immortality Sect has many capable people and strangers. Although Qin Jiyan went on a bloodbath in the palace and eliminated all the suspicious persons, after all, the time was short and the Emperor had been operating for a long time, so there were always some fish that slipped through the net.
The people of the Changsheng Sect used these fish that slipped through the net to get in touch with the Supreme Emperor in the palace and made plans for today's affairs.
"The Immortality Sect? What a good Immortality Sect. Send people... to clear out all the Eternal Life Sect's strongholds in Daqin. Anyone who belongs to the Eternal Life Sect will be killed without mercy." Qin Jiyan has already seen the methods used by the Eternal Life Sect to control his subordinates, and has no plans to do so.
Ask those people for news about the Immortality Gate.
"I accept the order." The deputy leader of Jinyiwei bowed his head and continued: "Your Majesty, I interrogated several generals who took the lead. Those generals said that the Supreme Emperor took precautions after King Zhao's rebellion and formulated a plan for them.
With the single-line contact method, once the new emperor ascends the throne and the Emperor does not show up, they will lead troops into the palace to protect the king, and there is no need for the Emperor to give any further orders."
In other words, the Supreme Emperor was very afraid of death and had already made preparations. However, his caution was not for Qin Jiyan, but for King Zhao and King Zhou, but he did not want to...
The people the Emperor thought would rebel did not move, but Qin Jiyan, whom the Emperor was most at ease with, took action decisively at the critical moment and ascended the throne.
In other words, it was Qin Jiyan who got lucky.
"Find out who else is the Supreme Emperor's servant in the palace, and... continue the investigation. I want to know how much power the Supreme Emperor has outside." The Supreme Emperor has been in power for so long that no one knows about him.
Over the years, he has managed many forces secretly. This time he succeeded to the throne, thanks to his decisive action, which caught the Emperor by surprise.
However, ascending to the throne does not mean that things are over. This is just the beginning of another battlefield...
